Campo 7 Man-Made Forest: A Mysterious Eye-opening Experience In Cebu
For decades, science has taken huge leaps and breakthroughs to debunk the most contagious falsehoods. From the ethereal Northern lights to urban legends, modern science has been quite a myth buster, unveiling the truths of several strange phenomena and common misconceptions. Yet, somehow, there are still some strange forces and things like the spirits that defy logic as well as the principles of science. And in my recent weekend escape with Team Bang, I had a not-so close encounter with the strange dili ingun nato (spiritual beings), as we explored Campo 7 man-made forest, Minglanilla, Cebu.

Bagacay Point Lighthouse: Savoring The Scenery Of Liloan’s Parola
Bagacay Point Lighthouse was truly one of the most beautiful revelations to Team Bang’s Sunday adventure in Liloan, Cebu. With its fresh sea breeze and rustic feel, Bagacay Point Lighthouse gave us a refreshing culmination, following a sweltering hike in Lataban Hills. Praised for its romantic scenery, Liloan’s Parola was the best spot to unleash our inner shutterbugs as well.

Yet, somehow, I felt that I was out of my element, in the midst of joys, the sea breeze and crashing waves. As it turned out, all I needed was a hike to a scenic peak in Cebu. And, after scouring the web, I found the ultimate inspiration and solution to my thirst for hiking adventures – Casino Peak (Ka Sino Peak), Lugsangan, Dalaguete, Cebu. Sounds familiar? Casino Peak…

Carnaza Island: A Day Trip In Daanbantayan’s Island Paradise
“Idyllic” is, for me, a cliché and an overused adjective in the realm of travel writing. From bloggers to enthusiastic travel advisers, there are an awful lot of people nowadays who are vaguely and unsuitably using this word to describe a place they are visiting. As a matter of fact, I’ve seen some folks label Boracay’s party-laden beach as idyllic. But on the flip side, there are still some places on earth that truly epitomize and exude the “idyllic” feel of a tropical paradise. And one of them is Daanbantayan’s remote and gorgeous gem – Carnaza Island. Carnaza Island was kind of a last minute choice for our family escapade,…
